General Electric Microwave EMO3000CSS04 Tray won't turn

The Turntable Coupler is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is located underneath the glass turntable in the microwave cavity. It is responsible for transmitting the rotational motion from the motor to the turntable, allowing for even heating and cooking of food.

Causes of a faulty or damaged turntable coupler can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or improper installation. These factors can result in issues such as the turntable not rotating or spinning irregularly during operation.

Symptoms of a bad turntable coupler may include:

• The turntable not rotating when the microwave is in use
• Uneven or jerky movement of the turntable
• Excessive noise or vibration during operation

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Turntable Motor is an OEM part for GE microwaves, designed to rotate the glass plate or turntable inside the microwave cavity. This rotation ensures the food is cooked evenly by exposing all parts of the food to the microwave energy. 

The causes for these issues often stem from wear and tear over time, especially with frequent use. Other factors can include damage from food particles or spills that seep into the motor area or mechanical failure within the motor itself.

Symptoms of a failing Turntable Motor include:

• The turntable not rotating when the microwave is in use
• A grinding or buzzing noise indicating the motor is struggling to turn
• The microwave cooking food unevenly or taking longer to cook

This OEM GE  part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models
